ASP.NET Weekly - Issue #26

Are you wanting to get into blogging but not sure where to start? I have been blogging now for about 5 years, and I read a lot of blogs for my work on ASP.NET Weekly. So if you want some advice or guidance, please feel free to give me a shout at jerrie@jerriepelser.com.

Don’t worry - I don’t want to sell you anything. Just offering my time to hopefully help create more bloggers.

One final thing before we get into this week’s edition: If you are curious about starting with Razor Pages, then check out the Learn Razor Pages website. It is a great resource created by Mike Brind.

Steve looks at the new HttpClientFactory which is coming in ASP.NET Core 2.1 which helps to solve some common problems that developers may run into when using HttpClient instances to make external web requests from their applications.
